Nis met een lege cartouche geflankeerd door de apostelen Petrus en Paulus 1593 - 1595

This is a print from Wendel Dietterlin's *Architectura*, an influential architectural treatise published in 1593. It depicts a cartouche, a decorative shield, flanked by the apostles Peter and Paul, and a complex decorative structure adorned with cherubs. The cartouche is left blank, suggesting that it was intended to be filled with an inscription or coat of arms. Dietterlin’s work was crucial in the dissemination of Renaissance architectural principles, and this detail is characteristic of the book’s blend of classical motifs and Mannerist ornamentation. The print reflects the artistic trends of the late 16th century, showcasing both historical influences and the emergence of new artistic expressions.
